I mightily try to keep an open mind, at least in as much as it doesn't completely fall out of my skull, but it's not easy after what has happened over the past 2 going on 3 years.

My son, of whom I think very highly, and I do not have the covid or climate crises argument. I don't even know if he's moderated his opinion, but have to think he still buys the lie - NPR and NYT inform him, not to mention the indoctrination he received along with his STEM PhD in geology.

After the Princess Cruise Line data came out, I couldn't take seriously the fear mongering, but then, I was already a non-believer of all things government - climate crisis nonsense and all.
